any arcade system and I be partyin’ all up in der. If you ain’t into
the emulation scene, you missin’ out. Play

Got my groove on at Coachella this weekend. A 2-day concert set with bands I’d never get to see, like Fantastic Plastic Machine, Gus Gus, DJ Shadow, Moby, Esthero, Cibo Matto, Morrissey, Chemical Brothers, Bis, Beck, Banco de Gaia, Mix Master, Mike, Art of Noise, etc. ¡Que bueno! I don’t think there was, a single band I disliked. It was in the desert near Palm Springs. Only bad things about it were that cameras weren’t allowed inside (ohsomanywonderfulpicturescouldhavebeentaken) and the blasting furnace heat.
The Juiceman heartily endorses Coachella. “You just wish that you could draw the molybdenum and potassium straight out of Coachella. But you can’t. That’s why you need the Juicemaster.”
I went to the balloon fiesta . There were so many stands selling breakfast burritos, it was amazing…oh, plus the balloons were nifty too. Check out the upside-down balloon.
Karaoke is spiffy and nifty.
